I'm planning to build the model as it is, without much modifications, thanks.This model is known for the mandibles wrong angle, they should face inwards and not parallel. When I built mine, the issue was so visible that I decided to bring out the saw and do some surgery.
Do you plan to do the same?
The problem is that the FMMF mandibles aren't tapered at all. They come out of the hull with the inside edges perfectly parallel when on the studio model they have a significant taper:Looking great!
I guess my eyes may not see what everyone is describing regarding the mandibles…they look like they are tapered correctly to me (?)
Yes, in the 1/72 model, the mandibles are perfectly parallel to the front of the ship. The 1/144 model has the mandibles slightly tapered, which captures the look the original model had.Looking great!
